Tricia Spencer & Howard Rains

Tricia Spencer and Howard Rains are folk music makers–fiddlers, guitar players, singers–and visual artists who grew up in the music of their families. Tricia Spencer is a Kansas fiddler who learned traditional fiddling knee to knee from her grandparents. Howard Rains is a native Texas artist and fiddler, now living in Kansas, who comes from a musical and artistic family.

When they met in 2012, they blended their fiddle sounds into a unique voice in old time music. In these videos, you will learn the parts that make up their twin fiddle sound as well as guitar back-up to the tunes. You will also help support the Tune Talk videos.
